Team news: Odegaard one of four changes

Mikel Arteta has opted to make four changes to his side for tonight Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle United, with Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz passed fit to start.

The duo have been struggling with illness recently, with Martin starting our last outing at Brighton & Hove Albion on the bench, while Kai has missed the last two matches completely. But both are back at our disposal tonight meaning Gabriel Jesus and former Magpie Mikel Merino drop to the bench,

Jurrien Timber is available again after suspension which sees Thomas Partey move back into midfield, while on the other side of defence Myles Lewis-Skelly is given another chance to impress, with Riccardo Calafiori among the replacements.
